Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pyto IDE at 3.7 against Dev Keyboard's 1.0. Pyto IDE also leads on ratings volume (995 vs 1) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). Dev Keyboard's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 35%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pyto IDE sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Dev Keyboard sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pyto IDE holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyto IDE has 995 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Pyto IDE's written reviews are positive against 67% of Dev Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pyto IDE ships an update every 8 days, Dev Keyboard every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
